Answer 1

switch to xm radio. its better

Answer 2

If Sirius says to return the unit, they've probably diagnosed a problem with it and you might as well go ahead and do it.

However, the city you are in may not have repeaters on the ground, which is how both satellite companies enhance their signals in big cities.

Answer 3

Yeah that shouldn't be happening, return the unit to Sirius but make sure if you're paying for the subscription you get a refund or however many months your unit it gone, get those months added back to your account once you get a working unit.

Answer 4

did you try resetting the radio signal? you should be able to to that on sirius.com.  It sounds like you have a defective radio or antennae.
